**********************************************************************

Dr. G. W. Doggett, a resident dentist at New Haven, was born in Frank-
lin County, Mo., in 1856, and is the son of Miller and Lillie Ann
(Garner) Doggett, natives of Tennessee, who came to Missouri when young
and were married about 1848.  They located two and a half miles below 
New Haven, and there passed the remainder of their lives, both dying
about 1872, and both members of the Christian Church.  Our subject re-
ceived a fair education, and remained at home until after the death of
his parents.  He worked on a farm for a while, and then went to New
Haven, where he had the advantage of a school for some time.  He then
went to Kansas, where he remained two years, then returned to New 
Haven, worked on a farm during the summer and attended school during
the winter.  In 1877 and 1878 he began the study of dentistry under Dr.
Hamilton Clute, and in 1880 and 1881 attended the Dental College at St.
Louis.  He commenced the practice of his profession in 1878 and for
some years had an extensive traveling practice in Osage and Gasconade
Counties.  In 1882 he bought out his former preceptor and has since 
been located at New Haven, where he has an excellent practice.  In 1882
he married Miss Etta S. Bendel, a native of Illinois, and the daughter
of H. R. and Eliza Bendel.  To the Doctor and wife were born three
children, two now living: Elmore E., Ella and Hattie (twins, the latter
deceased).  In 1885 the Doctor was elected city alderman, re-elected in
1887, and has since held the office.  He is a Democrat in his political
views, and cast his first presidential vote for Gen. Hancock, in 1880.
He is a prominent member of the A. O. U. W., and Mrs. Doggett is a 
member of the Christian Church.
